Directions

This is enough to make sure you have leftovers! To prep, rinse lentils and wash veggies. Dice carrots, cabbage, onion, and bell pepper. Add all ingredients to a slowcooker and cook for 8-10 hours. You can add additional spices to taste. Yummy and very filling. Freezes well. Enjoy!

I will make this again, my husband really liked it. I thought it was a little sweet. It was too much for my crock pot and I think I have a very large pot. I think next time I will only use one can of tomatoes and another onion and cloves of garlic. It does make a large batch and good for leftovers.

Very tasty! Wish I'd read the comments about there being too much for most slow cookers! It was more like a stew since there wasn't room to add all the liquid. I'd make a half recipe next time!

1st time around, I added only herbs, bay leaf, a little basil. I used a 6 qt crock pot and it fit fine. Thought it was very good. I add 1 teaspoon olive oil per serving, when I serve it. I have added at various times, broccoli or cauliflower or zucchini or yellow crookneck squash, any or all.1-1/2c.

I would like to ask what size slow cooker this recipe is designed for because it sure didn't fit into mine. The recipe was okay but it was hard to convince my family that it would be yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

Reply from CONNIE48036(2/2/09) Hi Carrie. The tomatoes are the large cans, I think 28 oz each, and the lentils are the dried type found in a bag near the navy beans and kidney beans in the grocery store. Glad it looks good to you. Let me know how it turns out. Have a great week!
